0.046 ohms
I've just checked it now and it read the resistance of a transformer correctly.
I'm going to have to work out the context of it doing this and repost
cowasaki:
Ok it's not working again....
Unless I'm missing something obvious.
I have a 56K resistor with probes attached either side. First I'm measuring with a brilliant cheap multimeter the Owen B35T+. It measures the resistor at 56K5 which is confirmed using using Keithley 2100. Then I haven't changed anything at all but simply moved the probes from the Owen to the 121GW. The 121GW measures the value as...... well it doesn't even recognise there is a value. I then put the probes back into the Owen and it is measuring the same. All I get out of the 121GW is OF.L. Not good for a meter costing 10-15 times the amount.

And I've just plugged it in again and it seems to be working. I'm been having these issues from day 1 but as I have over ten meters I've not got round to doing anything with it.......

You seem to have the 121gw in Continuity mode and not in Ohms mode - Continuity can only measure up to 500.00 ohms.

? I switch to ohms and it was the only resistance mode that came up. Do I have to change something else? That doesn't seem very intuitive. What tells you it's in continuity mode?
